Abstract
The following case report details the presentation of a left maxillary painless expansile lesion in a five-year-old female that was proven to be desmoplastic fibroma (DF) of the maxilla, which was treated via a conservative excision. Given the paucity of DF cases in the Maxillofacial literature, there are no formally agreed-upon guidelines for the treatment of DF, especially in the maxillary sinus. A thorough review of the literature was completed and discussed, highlighting the correlation of DF with Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) and the proposed treatment when encountered in the maxillary sinus of a pediatric patient.
期刊介绍:
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Cases is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing case reports and case series only which must be original, educational, rare conditions or findings, or clinically interesting to an international audience of surgeons and clinicians. Case series can be prospective or retrospective and examine the outcomes of management or mechanisms in more than one patient. Case reports may include new or modified methodology and treatment, uncommon findings, and mechanisms. All case reports and case series will be peer reviewed for acceptance for publication in the Journal.
